5.0 out of 5 stars An Exceptional Product, November 26, 2001

This review is from: Kodak EasyShare DX3215 1.3MP Digital Camera w/ 2x Optical Zoom Bundle with Dock (Electronics)

The Kodak DX3215 is an excellent buy. The 1.3 megapixels are perfect for a novice. I can get great quality prints up to a 5x7. I think if you are needing 8x10s, you may want to move up to a 2.2 megapixel. This bundle is great. It has everything you need to get started. The camera is very user friendly, and has a lot of neat options for the price. The dock is a must for anyone who doesn't want to deal with batteries and the normal USB upload. Kodak has done an excellent job making digital photolgraphy easy for those who don't have time to deal with some of the more complicated technology out there. Another nice thing about this bundle is the free memory card. The DX3215 has an internal memory card that will hold 20 pictures on best quality. The removable card will hold about 100 on best. So with the memory card and the dock which is also a recharger, using the camera for a weekend or other extended time is great. The Kodak software is very simple to use, and has a lot of neat options. I would recommend this camera to anyone wanting to get into digital photography, or just replace that old 35mm. You will be very pleased with the usefullness of this package.

This review is from: Kodak EasyShare DX3215 1.3MP Digital Camera w/ 2x Optical Zoom Bundle with Dock (Electronics)

This is a pretty decent camera, especially at the price. I get very sharp pictures with good color. I found three problems which I found annoying. The on/off button is very tiny and you almost need to use a fingernail to push it (and hold for a few seconds). The second gripe I have is the LCD view finder cuts off after about 3 or 4 flash pictures, and then you need to start using the "see-through" view finder which brings me to my third and last gripe. This "see-through" view finder seems to be aimed too high and cuts off the top of the picture. I just aim higher and get it right, but wish it was aligned correctly. All in all, not bad for the $$ paid. I expected worse.
The base for picture transfers is fantastic. I had a Samsung (cheap and broken) camera which took around 20 to 30 minutes to transfer fifteen to twenty low quality pictures. The Kodac w/base only takes a few seconds to maybe a minute to transfer 20 high quality pics of around 1mb each pic. I was excited to see how quickly it was done. The short lifespan of 2AA batteries power is more than made up for by the charger cradle. I hope the Kodac lasts longer than my Samsung.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great starter Digital camera., December 19, 2001

I purchased the Kodak DX3215 Digital Camera with the USB dock and I have been very impressed with it so far. This is a starter camera and doesn't have a lot of frills. The construction of the camera, the buttons, etc. tells you that this is a relatively cheap camera but there are no functional issues with it. This is a great camera that's capable of 1.3 megapixel and has a 2X digital zoom lens. The camera comes with 8MB of internal RAM which will store about 20 pictures at 1024x768. There is an expansion slot of additional memory and I picked up the SanDisk 32 MB card for that slot which stores about 100 pictures at 1024x768.

In a nutshell, this is a really good starter Digital camera without a lot of frills. Great for someone who wants a good Digital camera but doesn't want to pay $500 for it. If you want a really good Digital camera, my choice would be the Canon Powershot G2 Digital Camera. Very nice..
